Rosehill
Race 6
#6. Little Iris @ $2.80 – Brings solid recent figures into this and the form from her last run stacks up well. Looks at peak fitness now and should land in a handy spot. If she holds that level, she’s right in the finish again.
Sandown
Race 5
#3. Bluestone @ $2.90 – Returned well off a slow tempo and his ratings measure up strongly for this. The rise to 2400m on the bigger track looks ideal and the stable has a good record with stayers. Hard to knock on that fresh run and gets his chance here.
Port Lincoln
Race 5
#4. Star Valour @ $7 / $2.40 – Has been a little hit and miss but generally performs well at this track and trip. Draws to get a soft run and should be finding the line. Each-way value at the price.
Race 6
#9. Samanth @ $3.50 – Strong effort two back in a solid race here and forgive the last start when she pulled up lame. Maps to get a good run from the draw and drops weight with the claim. Capable of bouncing back.
Race 8
#5. Strawberry Swing @ $3.30 – Consistent performer who wasn’t far away last start and had won well here prior. Likely to settle just behind the speed from the low gate and gets in well at the weights. Sets up nicely.
Doomben
Race 1
#6. The Aviator @ $10 / $3.90 – Only had the one run last prep and forgive that. Latest trial was encouraging and he looks to have improved into this preparation. Worth an each-way look at odds.
Race 3
#2. Khoirgirl @ $3.60 – Went forward and ran them along last start before being run down late. If ridden the same way here, this track and the claim help. Looks well placed.
Race 6
#5. Impact Zone @ $3.90 – Well-bred type who has shown ability in stronger company. Now with a new stable after being gelded and trialling well. Looks very well placed and capable of going on with it.
MULTI OF THE DAY
Doomben R3 #2 Khoirgirl (PLC) / Sandown R5 #3 Bluestone (PLC) / Port Lincoln R8 #5 Strawberry Swing (WIN) @ $6.93 (neds)
